bathroom fixtures

American-Standard colors are true and permanent.
They will not dull or fade. However, china color sam-
ples and color fixtures appear differently under various
lighting conditions. Selection should be made under
the exact lighting conditions to be used or the closest
approximation possible.

T'ang Red is available in vitreous china fixtures only.
All American-Standard fixtures also come in white.

Your most important consideration in planning your next
bathroom is your choice of plumbing fixtures. For millions
that choice is American-Standard.

American-Standard fixtures are designed with an eye to
beauty as well as utility. “Advance styling,” it’s called— you
get design features that will be as modern tomorrow as they
are today.

You’ll find American-Standard fixtures retain their beauty,
too, even after years of daily use. They are made of genuine
vitreous china or enameled cast iron. American-Standard
vitreous china, of which toilets and many lavatories are made,
has exceptional cleaning and wearing qualities yet is resistant
to chipping, cracking or crazing. Cast iron bathtubs and
lavatories, too, are built for long service. To the sturdy cast iron
is permanently fused a thick, smooth coat of lasting enamel—
either regular or acid-resisting.

American-Standard bathtubs
are the finest. They are all
made of rugged cast iron, with
a smooth coating of enamel
fused to the metal. Cast iron
forms a rigid base for enamel,
so chances of chipping are re-
duced. The enamel is extra-
thick — it stays lustrous and
easy to clean through countless
scrubbings. Choose an Ameri-
can-Standard cast iron bath-
tub, and be sure of good serv-
ice for years and years to come.

now is the time to plan

an extra bathroom

Nothing quite equals having a modern bathroom— except
the wonderful convenience of two bathrooms.

A second bathroom gives privacy. It unsnarls bath-
room traffic jams. It helps teach children personal clean-
liness. It symbolizes hospitality to guests. A second bath-
room serves daily in so many ways that it has become
essential to a smooth-running household.

Now is the time— before you build or modernize— to
plan for a second bathroom in your home. There are all
sorts of economical ways you can fit in that extra bath-
room. Your architect, builder or plumbing retailer can
show you how.

Another way to save money is to choose American-
Standard plumbing fixtures for both bathrooms. There’s
such a wide selection, you’re sure to find bathroom
groups priced right for you. And more important, Ameri-
can-Standard quality assures the good service and lasting
convenience you want.

AMERiCAN-<$tattda*d[ fittings
for good service

The satisfaction you expect from your
plumbing fixtures will largely depend on
your selection of fittings. American-
Standard fixtures and fittings are de-
signed to work together as a team.

American-Standard fittings are pre-
cision made for smooth operation— care-
fully designed to give you the longest
possible service. The Re-Nu feature be-
low is one example of the true economy
you can experience.

These quality fittings are non-tarnish-
ing Chromard which won’t chip or peel.
They are easily identified with the mark-
ing “Standard” so that replacement parts
can easily be obtained at any time.
There’ll be no need to discard the fitting
for lack of a part.

What’s more, you can select your
American-Standard fittings from a wide
variety of attractive designs and styles
for any fixture in your home.

save work, save time

A modern American-Standard kitchen will add value
and beauty to your home— and save you time and work
besides. That’s particularly important when you stop
to think how much time a busy woman spends in her
kitchen. It’s got to be right.

And you can be sure your kitchen will be right when
you choose American-Standard.

American-Standard has long been famous for cast
iron kitchen sinks— the finest made. Now, the same
manufacturing skill and product pride is being built
into a complete selection of steel kitchen cabinets.

There’s a size and type of sink and of wall, base and
undersink cabinets to assure the perfect kitchen for
your needs. To match this great variety of cabinets,

American-Standard offers an impressive variety of
work-saving cabinet accessories.

In addition, the Aeropel ventilator gets rid of kitchen
grease and fumes, while the Disposer ends garbage
worries forever.

But that’s not all. American-Standard has developed
a new concept of kitchen storage called cabinet con-
vertibility. Convertibility means that the position of a
wide selection of sliding shelves or drawers in under-
sink or base cabinets can be changed easily, by anyone,
at any time.

American-Standard is the only kitchen which offers
you all these quality advantages. Compare— and you’ll
choose American-Standard.

enamel, so chances of chipping are reduced. The enamel is extra-thick— it stays

Standard cast iron sink, and be sure of good service for years and years to come.

add

all-steel cabinets—
all at once or a step at a time

This could be your modern kitchen.
And you can have it now, all at once
—or add groups of cabinets, a step
at a time. Either way, you can be
sure of quality, style and conveni-
ence with American-Standard
kitchen cabinets.

These cabinets are made of finest
steels, treated for rust resistance,
uniformly coated with the best en-
amel and heat cured for a durable,
glossy finish. Doors are sound dead-
ened and handles are heavily
chrome plated. If the cabinets
should become damaged in the fu-
ture, only with American-Standard
cabinets can doors, drawerfronts
and louvre panels be removed for
refinishing without affecting cabinet
efficiency. And only American-
Standard has the convertibility fea-
ture, giving you a kitchen tailored
to your individual work habits and
changing storage needs.

WALL CABINETS

There's an American-Standard wall cab-
inet for every storage need. Cabinet sizes
are 15", 18" and 30" in height, and range
from 15" to 42" horizontally along the
wall. Shelves adjustable on one inch
centers allow proper storage for every-
thing from spice cans to family size cereal
boxes. Cabinets for corners and over
refrigerator give added storage space. All
American-Standard single door cabinets
are available for right or left hand opening.

BASE CABINETS

American-Standard offers a complete
variety of versatile base cabinets with
smooth-sliding drawers and shelves for
storing foods, dishes and kitchen utensils.
Cabinet sizes range from a width of 15"
to the huge 48" storage center. Because
sizes and styles are so complete, your
kitchen can be custom designed to fit
exactly right with facilities to suit your
exact storage needs. American-Standard
base cabinets are 34 Vi* high and 24 Vi"
deep. A 4" toe space makes cabinets easy
to work at.

UTILITY CABINETS

Broom cabinet offers storage for brooms,
vacuum cleaner and mops. Hangers are
installed for dust cloths. Two adjustable

exclusive

The convertibility feature of American-Standard kitchen cabinets makes
them the most useful and versatile you can buy. Convertibility means that
the position of sliding shelves or drawers may be changed in any under-
sink or base cabinet (with the exception of the 27" base cabinet) at any
time— even after installation. Each sliding shelf, each shallow or deep
concealed drawer can be located at any of four levels. De luxe exposed
drawers can replace doors. Wall cabinet shelves are adjustable on one
inch centers to provide storage for both large and small items.

A sliding shelf for the mixer
and shallow concealed
drawer for attachments
show one cabinet arrange-
ment. Cabinets may be con-
verted by anyone at any
time to suit the individual
homemaker's requirements.

A kitchen can be kept mod-
ern by adapting cabinets to
meet changing storage
needs. This convertibility
idea provides two 4" deep
concealed drawers for tow-
els and dish cloths. Pans
and lids are stored in the 9"
deep concealed drawer.

A food storage center in one
compartment— four con-
cealed drawers or sliding
shelves provide storage for
60 No. 2 cans! Even the rear
of a sliding shelf is simple
to get to— no reaching from
a kneeling position.

Here's another idea for con-
verting the compartment of
an American-Standard sink
or base cabinet. Two 9"
deep concealed drawers
provide ample storage space
for vegetables, pans or large
utensils which won't fit in
an ordinary drawer.

5 beautiful colors

Kitchen decorating is exciting when the scheme in-
cludes an American-Standard cast iron sink in any
one of these five colors. Colors will not fade nor dull
from age, wear or repeated cleaning, and the thick
coating of gleaming enamel is acid-resisting— another
safeguard to lasting beauty.

tops in kitchen counters

American-Standard counter tops are post formed in
five lovely colors of Micarta, the plastic material
which stands up to acids, resists heat and cold, is
virtually unstainable and won’t chip, splinter or cor-
rode. The post formed top is moulded in one piece
to include counter surface, back splash and non-drip
front edge. The smooth, unbroken surface avoids
dirt-collecting cracks and is easy to clean.

maple counter tops

A counter top of hard, thick maple is beautiful and
butcher-block tough. Cut meat, bread or vegetables
safely and easily— saving knives, platters and compo-
sition counter tops. Available in many sizes for straight
installation or corner.

quality fittings for good service

A perfect complement to the American-Standard sink
in both modern design and lasting service is this new
sink fitting. Finished in gleaming, non tarnishing
Chromard, this streamlined fitting features a smooth
swinging spout, modern practical handles and conve-
nient, out-of-the-way soap dish. Thumb controlled
auto-spray rinses entire sink.

The Spring-Flo aerator mixes air with water to eliminate
splashing. Suds are created faster for easier cleaning.
Water tastes better, too. Offered with most American-
Standard sink fittings.

Sink clean-up is no job with an American-Standard
crumb cup strainer. Fitting neatly in the drain, the
strainer can be raised to let water out while retaining
clogging sediment.

Banish garbage problems forever with an American-
Standard Disposer. The Disposer gets rid of food
waste as it is produced— before it becomes garbage.
This spells the end of garbage in the sink, messy
garbage handling, clogged drains and— best of all —
there are no trips to the overflowing, vermin collect-
ing garbage can. The Disposer will hold more waste
than created in meal preparation and clean-up, and
with a flick of the switch, waste is shredded and
flushed down the drain in a matter of seconds.

The American-Standard Disposer is constructed
of the finest materials for smooth operation and
long life— working parts are of rust proof chrome
steel. It’s safe, too, since the top must be in place
before the Disposer will operate.

Completely self cleaning, the Disposer leaves no
scraps in the shredding compartment, and the
vigorous scouring action of pulverized waste helps
keep drain pipes clean.

The American-Standard Aeropel ventilator keeps
the air in the kitchen clean and fresh. Odors, smoke
and grease are whisked out instantly. Every room
in the house stays cleaner and fresh. The Aeropel
removes air-borne soot, grease and odors before
they can be carried to walls, draperies or furniture.

Winner of two Fine Arts Awards for beauty and
utility, the Aeropel ventilator is ideal for the bath-
room, laundry or recreation room as well as the
kitchen. The smartly styled, moulded plastic grille
can be installed vertically or horizontally.

The outside weather door of the Aeropel is open
only when the fan is operating. No grease filters to
clog, no ducts to collect inflammable grease be-
tween walls. Motor isfully protected against overload.

The Aeropel is easily installed, reasonably priced
and costs just a few cents a month to operate.

for the laundry, too

The Duplex Hostess sink and
laundry tray combination has
an 8 "-deep sink compartment
on one side, a 13"-deep laundry
tray on the other. A movable
enameled drainboard fits either
side. The Duplex Hostess is 36"
high, 25" wide and 42" long.
Comes in white or color. Plenty
of storage in the double door
undersink cabinet. Wonderful
for kitchen-laundries.

The Alden laundry tray is
enameled cast iron with double
bowl and convenient roll rim.
It is 26" wide, 53" long. Height
is adjustable from 33" to 36".

The Lakeview is an inexpen-
sive single tub laundry tray
easily adaptable to dual instal-
lation. It is 24" long, 20" wide
and 33" high. American-Stand-
ard wall and base cabinets give
needed storage space.

enjoy the magic of hot water comfort at its best

heating equipment

A heating system is supposed to make you comfortable inside your home
when it’s cold and uncomfortable outside. However, the simple introduction
of heat into the house isn’t enough. A combination of both radiant and con-
vened warmth must be supplied to keep the heat losses of the human body
balanced. The magic of hot water comfort delivers both kinds of heat.

Hot water heating will fill your home with even, constant warmth. It offers
maximum flexibility. For only water can be directed where you want it, in
any quantity needed, at just the right temperature to maintain comfort. The
entire room is living area, with only slight temperature differences between
floor and ceiling, inside and outside walls. You have complete freedom of
furniture arrangement, because your heating system won’t dictate which side
of the room you can use.

You get clean, gentle heat, too. No dirt comes in through the heating
system. Odors and gases cannot be circulated. Low air velocities help to keep
draperies and walls clean.

Best of all, you get long range economy when you install hot water
heating. Cast iron boilers will outlast other heating plants up to two and one
half times. Cast iron is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, and the heat-
absorbing surfaces of the boiler are waterbacked, so flame and hot gases
cannot distort and destroy these surfaces.

One of the great advantages of modern hot water heating is the variety of
modern heat transfer units available— baseboard panels, attractive con-
vectors, compact radiators. Any of them, working in conjunction with a
dependable American-Standard boiler, will deliver perfect heating comfort.

there’s a modern hot water heating system for every need

Mainless, or Series Loop, installation using baseboard panels, either
non ferrous or cast iron, is an economical form of hot water heating.
Here, Heatrim panels replace the baseboard in the amount needed
along the outside walls of the house. Where heat is not needed, the
enclosure alone may be used to complete the run from wall to wall.
Hot water is circulated through the panels by a small circulator mounted
at the boiler. Piping drops below the floor to avoid a door or other
obstruction.

Sunrad radiators are shown here in a two-pipe steam system using
low pressure steam. Installed under windows, they counteract infil-
trating cold air. Radiators provide radiant warmth; they warm the
furniture and wall surfaces without overheating room air. When the
thermostat shuts off the heat supply, Sunrad radiators retain heat and
compensate for continuing heat loss of the room. They may be installed
with either one-pipe and two-pipe hot water or steam systems.

New Multifin convectors, shown in a one-pipe hot water system, provide
inexpensive hot water heating. Room air enters the convectors through
an opening at the bottom and passes over the heating element. Heated
air re-enters the room through the grille at the top. The enclosure
front itself becomes a radiating surface. Installed free-standing, par-
tially or fully recessed, New Multifin convectors may be used with
either one and two-pipe hot water or steam systems.

Split Loop Mainless installation applies the economies of the series
loop to larger ranch houses and multi-storied buildings. A single supply
line leaves the boiler and is split into two or more loops, so that each
loop covers one part of the house. This system allows some measure
of zoning when balancing cocks are installed in the return side of each
loop. Single loop and split loop mainless installations may be used
with either Heatrim or Radiantrim panels.

baseboard heating-for warm,

smart rooms next winter

Modern heating equipment can make a delightful difference
in the way your home looks next winter— and the way it
feels, too. So why put up with old fashioned heating units
when you can have smart distinctively styled baseboard
panels? Baseboard panels are neat, inconspicuous and they
allow complete decorating freedom. They give the economy,
dependability and solid comfort of hot water heating.

For uniform floor-to-ceiling warmth in your home
all winter long, there’s nothing like Heatrim panels.
Designed for forced circulation hot water heating,
Heatrim panels give prompt response to every heat-
ing need. Heatrim panels are ideal for mainless in-
stallation, one of the most modern and economical
forms of hot water heating. The panels themselves
are the main, carrying the hot water from room to
room, all around the cold, outside walls of the
house. They heat rapidly and cool quickly with a
minimum of lag or override of room temperature
requirements. Heatrim panels replace the wood
baseboard and can be painted to harmonize with
any decorating scheme.

radiantriivi panels

Imagine your house with even, healthful warmth
from a source so inconspicuous as to be unnotice-
able. That is just one of the benefits of heating with
Radiantrim panels. These cast iron baseboard
panels represent the most advanced type of radiant
heating. Compact, modern Radiantrim panels
blanket the cold rim of the room with a wall of
warmth, making all of the space liveable. Rooms
seem larger— and they actually are, for with Radi-
antrim panels on the job, furniture can be arranged
to best advantage. Sun-like radiant rays warm
everything in their path and provide even room tem-
peratures. Radiantrim panels assure better balanced
heating, more rapid heating, warmer floors.

Heatrim panels come in convenient 6-foot lengths complete with enclosure
backs and tops, heating elements, connecting pieces, and enclosure fronts.
Outside and inside corner covers and valve enclosures aid in making a
finished installation. Heatrim panels have a one-piece sheet steel back
and top, an air vane, and an easily attached sheet steel enclosure front.
Each panel is 10 l A" high and 2 5 /i6 " thick. When recessed to the depth
of the plaster, it extends into the room only little more than an inch.

Radiantrim panels are furnished in one- and two-foot assemblies with
legs at each end, right and left end panels, and a two-foot center section.
Outside and inside corners and valve enclosures finish the assembly.
Radiantrim panels are cast in one piece of durable cast iron, only 8 inches
high and two inches thick. Partially recessed, they extend into the room
about an inch. Extension panels are available to complete the run to
the wall when necessary.

The heating element of
Heatrim panels consists of a
one-inch copper tube to
which aluminum fins have
been permanently bonded.
A specially designed hanger
eliminates expansion prob-
lems, noises, andother diffi-
culties. Where no heating
element is required, the
steel enclosure can com-
plete the run to the wall.

Radiantrim panels are
backed by an array of inte-
grally cast fins, to give the
advantages of both radiant
and convected heat and to
give faster response. Radi-
antrim panels assure maxi-
mum transfer of heat with
sun-like radiant rays and
lower air temperatures.

boilers for coal firing

Many thousands of home owners have received heating
comfort year after year from dependable American-
Standard coal fired boilers. Each boiler has ample com-
bustion space for the complete burning of the fuel, effec-
tive heat absorbing surfaces for rapid transfer of heat
and quick heating of radiators, and numerous other
features for fuel-saving operation.

American-Standard coal boilers are designed for either
hand or stoker firing. With stoker firing, they offer many
of the benefits of automatic heating. Either hand or stoker
fired boilers can be used successfully with any hot water
or steam heating system. All coal boilers comply with
A.S.M.E. standards.

The SEVERN boiler gives top per-
formance with hand or stoker firing.

heating controls and accessories for care-free comfort

The comfort your heating system delivers is greatly affected by the controls and
accessories with which the system is equipped. One of the biggest pleasures of
modern heating is the delivery of comfort without care and attention. At the onset
of cold weather, you start the burner, set the thermostat, and then forget about
heating until warm weather comes again. This automatic operation is provided
by a combination of Detroit controls and accessories. They are responsible for
room temperature control, fuel delivery, heat circulation, and safe operation.
Shown below are a few of the wide variety of Detroit products. Precision made of
the finest materials, they are your assurance of dependable, accurate, safe operation
of your heating system at all times.
